We know he's leaving F1, but even Alonso himself doesn't know where he will be heading. It won't be hard for anyone to sign him up given the quality on his CV. He doesn't expect an announcement will come soon as he weighs up his options.

The two-time world champion will close an F1 career which started way back in 2001. Following on from his 2006 Monaco win, and 2018 Le Mans win, you'd expect the Spaniard to move to IndyCar in 2019. But Alonso isn't as certain. He went on to suggest that even a test drive wouldn't confirm his spot.

"There is that possibility [testing on an IndyCar road course] that came to place in the last couple of days, so I will think and I will decide," Alonso told Crash.

"It could be interesting because I obviously enjoyed a lot last year the Indy 500. I don’t know that car in a normal setup, in a normal circuit so it can be a possibility.

"But first of all, I want to take time to digest the retirement from Formula 1. Obviously our priority this weekend is the WEC because one of the reasons to join the super season was to become world champion. Le Mans was the first priority."

It's anyone's guess, but you'll be able to count on Alonso doing a fantastic job.
